When pondering possible campaign settings for the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition rpg, it struck me that I have yet to see a really good treatment of H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle stories for use in an RPG. One used as a self-contained campaign world, and not just as a possible side-quest for Call of Cthulhu or similar. So I figured I would tinker around with this wonderful setting, and see where it takes us.
For those who don't know, the Dream Cycle stories were a fantasy series written by Lovecraft, that thought dark, was far more fanciful than grim as in his later works. The Dreamlands are a parallel dimension to ours, and is peopled with fanciful creatures and exotic extremes of Earthly peoples and societies. However it is fully a world in its own right and not an airy world lacking in peril. Both dreams and nightmares aplenty dwell here.
So I will be posting setting details, peoples, races and monsters. So stay tuned!
